As Selena listened to Hattie's icy words of estrangement, she lowered her eyelashes and remained silent for a long while.
Finally, a gentle smile spread across her face and she said, "Hattie, you did a good job." This child, deep down, is even more clear-headed and resolute than she imagines.
Hattie said, "Anything Selena can do, | can do too." But that's different.
Selena's long eyelashes flickered.
The real Selena is already dead, she is just an outsider who happened to enter by chance. Naturally, there is no emotional connection to the Riddle family.
What Hattie has given up is her own father, who is truly connected to her by blood and has raised her with love.
Selena wanted to say something, but looking at Hattie's pale and cold face, she couldn't bring herself to speak.
Eventually, she just admonished, "Hattie, if you want to avenge your mother, you must take care of yourself and not let anyone harm you" Hattie nodded heavily and said, "I will, don't worry." Selena smiled.
The two sisters said a few more words and then hung up the video call.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeia waited for a moment before approaching and showed her what was on her phone. "Madam, you really need to see this." At this moment, a recording suddenly exposed by "Lulu V" on the internet once again shocked everyone.
The recording clearly captured the voices of two people conversing with unparalleled clarity.
"Mr. Mitchell, | have some personal matters | would like to discuss with you." "Why did you come to see me so late? You have a competition tomorrow?" "About tomorrow's game, there are some special circumstances. Can I... come in and discuss?" "If it's not convenient, then you can just say it here." "I... have something very important to tell you about the fragrance formula for the fragrance competition. Please give me a chance... to let me in and speak..." "... Alright then, come in." Immediately after that, there was the sound of the door being closed from inside.
All the people who heard this recording were stunned.
Someone instinctively wants to shout that the recording must be fake, but that voice, although the tone is completely different from now, is indeed Selena's.
After a moment of silence, all netizens who listened to the recording got irritated.
[Impossible! | don't believe it! Lady Selena could never be that kind of person!] [Yes! There must be a misunderstanding. Lady Selena only said she had something to talk to him about, but there is no concrete evidence that she seduced the judge. There is definitely something fishy going on here!] [The two upstairs are really funny. What important thing requires a perfumer to knock on the door of the judges in the middle of the night, and must enter to speak? Moreover, Selena herself said that it was about the perfume competition. If this is not solid evidence, what is?] [This is disgusting to watch, how could someone who looks so good do something so embarrassing?] [She exposed the scandal herself in public in the morning, and | thought she was really innocent, but it turned out... haha!] Selena, who was just praised and praised by the entire network, was quickly overwhelmed by the swarm of criticism.
While gritting their teeth and watching the impressive perfumers showcasing their skills in the hotel, they suddenly saw this scene and their eyes lit up, making them unable to sit still.
Adeline was the first one to come forward and publicly share the recording.
| hope the perfume organization can come forward immediately and give all of us perfumers an explanation! Why did they allow such a morally corrupt woman to participate in the competition with us? This is an insult to all perfumers! The perfume organization should immediately revoke Selena's participation qualification and expel her from the perfume industry! Some people became the pioneers, but the remaining fragrance designers refused to be left behind, and they all liked, forwarded, and openly supported Adeline.
So many people have joined together that there is now a vague trend of a joint letter threatening to force the perfume organization to cancel Selena's participation.
And the support of these perfumers undoubtedly added insult to injury for Selena, who was already in a precarious situation.
Suddenly, the voices cursing her grew louder and the name Selena once again started to trend in a negative way across the internet, just like before.
In the hotel. Translation: After listening to the recording, Selena smiled without emotion and said, "Call Mr. Jordon, but don't rush it for now." Although Leia is angry that so many people are criticizing Selena, she understands that Selena has her own reasons for what she does.
She has never seen anyone who has offended her not get slapped in the end.
Leia held her breath and strolled over to give Luke a call, then ran back again. "So, what should we do about Lady Selena?" she asked.
Selena looked at Leia with wide eyes and a eager expression on her face, laughing, "Let's do nothing and wait for the awards ceremony tomorrow." Leia reminded her, "Madam, the Perfume Organization is hosting a dinner tonight, would you like to attend?" Selena originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered something and changed her mind, "Okay, I'll go." Leia smiled.
Selena looked at the ID that had posted the recording again and a cold chill went through her.
Her delicate fingers tapped on the screen of her phone, "Find her, she's useful for tomorrow's award ceremony.
Leia had long been displeased with Georgia. Upon hearing this command, she immediately stood up and ran outside, saying, "Understood!" Georgia is also asking for trouble, Selena didn't think to take care of her, and if she didn't stay away, she dared to approach and seek attention on her own.

Leia sent someone to catch Georgia, and Selena looked at the scene of the perfumers openly taking sides on the internet, smiling indifferently.
She was about to put down her phone when the screen suddenly lit up.
Selena smiled when she saw the flashing words "husband" on the screen and pressed the answer button.
Osvaldo's gentle voice came through the phone, "MY mother said you were looking for me." Listen carefully, the sound is like a touch of joy.
Selena switched to a more comfortable position and asked, "Have you seen anything on the internet?" Osvaldo let out a chuckle and said, "I saw that video." Selena was startled.
Not a recording, how did it become a video? Osvaldo's low and pleasing laughter echoed through the screen and into her ears, conveying unmistakable delight. "Gentle and handsome, unparalleled... Are you describing me?" Selena blushed.
She touched her ear and felt somewhat fortunate that the man opposite her couldn't see her. She smiled and said, "You deserve the best." The low laughter from the opposite side had an additional charm that was irresistible.
Selena suddenly felt weak in the knees and immediately changed the subject, saying "Have you heard that recording?" Osvaldo's mood remained unchanged as he softly murmured, "Okay." Selena is waiting for his reply.
But he was silent.
Selena asked with a complex mood, "Don't you have any questions you want to ask me?"
